Fair Day

We finally made it to the Hocking County Fair today, for the record it hasn't changed a bit in 20 years. However it is so exciting for young ones and therefore it was fun for me too. Emrie enjoyed walking through the barns but did not want to touch the pigs, or get close the the horse or goats we saw. I on the other hand loved to watch and touch the pigs and realized how much I miss the days of having swine around. We will have to work on Greg on that one, but Great Grandpa Howdyshell and Papa Emery would probably easily give in if a certain little gal or little boy suggested having a few pigs around. Hmmm, we will see!

Henry seemed to enjoy riding in the stroller, watching all the people and rides. Emrie rode her very first fair ride and I nearly cried(wow, emotional right?) She looked to little to be riding all by herself...doesn't she need her mommy anymore?? The first 30 seconds on the Scrambler she looked a tad concerned but then a smile crept onto her face and she was happy from there on out! Jeremiah was a great cousin and rode along beside of her on all the other rides and she loved that. Papa and Mama took Emrie and Henry to sit on the tractors and that was the highlight of Henry's day for sure. He is pure boy and wanted to climb all over that tractor.

We came home and enjoyed hamburgers on the grill and a nice evening outside with the Martins .The kids are fast asleep and daddy is at a Columbus Crew game so mommy is wondering what to do with herself...maybe a chick-flick!

Praise God for a beautiful fun day at the fair!
